Disappointing finale, to what has been great TV before tonight.
Was really looking forward to that. As someone said online:-
"Eldorado had a better ending"
Line of Duty finale: H was revealed, and the reviews are in
On Twitter, however, most viewers seemed disappointed.
One viewer, Louis Molyneux, wrote: "We waited a decade for Buckles to be H?" TV presenter Piers Morgan labelled the ending "a tad underwhelming". Chef Michael O'Hare called the ending "horrendous".
At one point, #fuming was trending in the UK - seemingly as a response to the reveal of H. "Think we need a public inquiry into the systemic failings of the finale... #fuming", wrote one poster.
Meanwhile, unimpressed Times Radio presenter Matt Chorley linked the audience's reaction to the protests at Manchester United's ground on Sunday.
"BREAKING: Thousands of angry fans gather outside the Line of Duty stadium," he wrote.
'Mother of God! We've waited 10 years for the most pointless character to be H': Line Of Duty fans are left underwhelmed as 12million viewers FINALLY learn the identity of the elusive Fourth Man
Line Of Duty's much-anticipated sixth series came to its conclusion on Sunday night with the identity of the elusive criminal 'H' finally unmasked. Viewers were surprised to learn the name of the elusive criminal, as well as answers to burning questions spanning the show's nine-year history.
A 'mugging off', a real life hint from Buckells back in 2017 and the bad spelling... the clues that have DEFINATELY told us the identity of The Fourth Man all along
As eagle-eyed fans learned that Superintendent Buckells was the famous fourth man, having liased with OCG's to bring down officers who failed to do their bidding,
Line of Duty's creator Jed Mercurio shares cryptic post after finale airs... as show's future hangs in the balance with BBC bosses yet to say if it will return for seventh series
The writer, 55, shared a picture of the AC-12 sign to his Twitter after the episode had aired and simply captioned it: 'Carry the fire', which gave no indication if there will be a seventh series or not.
Criminal 'mastermind' made Inspector Clouseau look like Sherlock: JAN MOIR reviews the (anti?)-climax of Line of Duty as identity of mysterious puppet-master Fourth Man is finally revealed
SPOILER ALERT: The identity of the con artist known as 'H' was finally revealed to the nation in the finale of Season 6 of Line of Duty.
'Tyre-screeching climactic episode... was more of a slow puncture': Line of Duty finale receives mixed reviews in today's papers (but fans' verdict was far less forgiving)
NEW Viewers last night tuned into the nail-biting series finale of Line of Duty - which saw the mysterious antagonist 'H' finally unmasked. Here, we round up what Britain's top TV pundits had to say.
The questions Line Of Duty's finale DIDN'T answer: Why did H want Jo Davidson dead? How was she able to saunter off into the sunset with her new girlfriend? And will Hastings now face prosecution?
Far from tying up loose ends in Jed Mercurio's sixth series finale, viewers were left puzzled by some of the Line Of Duty plot threads. Jo Davidson (Kelly Macdonald) was the focus of much of the confusion, with fans bemused as to why H would want her killed when she had led AC-12 away from his path. There was also tantalising glances between Steve Arnott and Kate Fleming, suggesting that romance could finally be on the cards for the corruption-cracking duo if the BBC commissions a seventh series. (Pictured clockwise from top left: ex Chief Superintendent Patrick Fairbank, Jo Davidson starts a new life with a new girlfriend, Steve Arnott emerges from the police van, and Kate Fleming offers a lingering look to her long-term colleague)
The series creator, 55, detailed how he dropped a sign the officer (Nigel Boyle) was bent back in 2012 after he allowed the caddy Dot Cottan (Craig Parkinson) to speak with criminal Tommy Hunter (Brian McCardie) alone in the back of a van.
